The Privateer, from shifting her guns from side to side, 'as they found a favourable opportunity, were enabled to' maintain a running fight for some time, in which four of the crew of the Privateer and 'six of the crew of. the Prince William Henry Cutter, were wounded, the greatest part of the last mention , td by the explosion of sortie cartridges of powder.. The Privateer arrived yesterday safe at Leith, and one of the Danish crew, who bad died of his wounds on their way hither, was decently interred in North Leith Church-yard; and 'other two„ who were badly wounded, were carried on Men's shoulders to the Royal Infirmary at Edinburgh, The remainder of the crew, including the Commander, who was slightly wounded, were landed at Leith yesterday, andinarched to Greenlaw Prison. The Privateer in question was formerly the Sloop Hope, of Leith, in the Shetland e trade, which was captured some time since, and carried into Norway.

Lord ELLENBOROUGU pronounced the judgment of the Court iu this ca,-e. He began by observing, that the case was one of great importance, and had occupied touch of the attention . of the Court ; and p after the judgment he was about-:to pronounce, he I=tinsted be should not again hear it argued that the :Statute was an obsolete low, The discussion, how ', ever, had been attended with one good elfett; it had opened the eves . 0f the Public, and had drawu their attention to the provisions of the ACV of the 6th Geo. J. by which they would. see what combi nations were illegal. Considering, however, that no prosecution bad taken place on.this law for a period of eighty-four years, and that the person who applied .in the present instance had not su ff ered any personal injury, the • Ceurt did not think proper, in . this instance, to interfere. with the sutnmary. mode of criminal inforinatien. They forbore to say more ,at present, because , the. question might yet come • betbre them in another shape; for the ordinary re- medY by indiament was still open to the Prose- •. cutor: The Court also thought proper to advise the Ddfendairt to pause and consider before he went ,further in his present, or proposed. any further spa •l calation of a like tendency; for certainly in. his 'proposal there were some very strong features indi cative of what the Acl considered evidences of fraud and delusion. .There was . one delusion particularly' held our, namely, that the Subscribers should not be • ,answerable beyond the sum subscribed. This was a false representation of the, law; they 'were all ,ndswerable to the public to the full extent of their Individual property., At present the Court dismissed the Rule without costs.. But they advised the De- • fendant to forbear such illegal speculations. . . We had yesterday the satisfaction of announcing that the tumultuous proceedings among the Cotton Weavers of Manchester have been suppressed. On Thursday last the military were busiiy employed At scouring the country round Manchester, dispersing -the several bodies of Weavers who had assembled at Blickley, White Noss, Middleton, and Kersell, Moor: Gentlemen were appointed in Manchester to wait upon the respe6tive Manufbaurers, requesting ' .41.1 a meeting might be held to take into considera tion the Petition ut the distressed Weavers. It was generally imagined that some redress would be af forded, and an advance of their wages take place, so as to meliorate their present wretched condition.* On the: same • day, a respectable Manufaanier of Stockport was conveyed to the New Bailey, at Man - chester, by a Ilarty ut dragoons.
